Provided herein are systems and method for providing routing of complex dynamically updated website applications using micro front ends (MFEs). The MFEs can be instantiated in a nested fashion. Each MFE can be agnostic to other levels of the website application structure that are not directly adjacent to the MFE in the hierarchy of the nesting. Navigation events can be bubbled up to a shell application to retain top-level control of routing within the website application without requiring the shell application to have all levels of routing in the hierarchy.
